Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications systems use multiple antennas at both the transmitter and receiver of a wireless network to improve signal performance (e.g., spectral efficiency, link reliability, and the like) through the exploitation of spatial diversity. More specifically, MIMO offers significant increases in data throughput and link range without requiring additional bandwidth or increased transmit power. Large-scale antenna systems that utilize MIMO techniques are commonly referred to as Massive MIMO (M-MIMO) systems, and they typically have more service-antennas than the number of active terminals that they service. Extra antennas help by focusing energy into smaller regions of space to bring improvements in throughput and radiated energy efficiency. M-MIMO is a particular case of multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) with narrow transmission beams that enable simultaneous service to multiple users. Other benefits of M-MIMO include the extensive use of inexpensive low-power components, reduced latency, simplification of the media access control (MAC) layer, robustness to intentional jamming, and the like. Accordingly, techniques for integrating M-MIMO systems into next-generation wireless networks are desired.
